During 2 years of existence of the EL a lot of content and changes have been added. But duplicate hero portraits still remain in this wonderful game! Playing the game for a long time, I noticed that each race has only 3 portraits for all heroes(Even necrophages quest hero Ka-Riss, reborned human, has duplicate picture).

When you're just getting started with the game you do not notice duplicates, because you have only one or two hero and you learn the game basics. Problems with heroes management occur in mid or late game when player has about a dozen cities(and each city with the governor) + several generals lead armies.

It is difficult to quickly select the desired Hero from duplicate portraits. When i need to hire hero(for example to boost production in the city) i always click on each hero portrait and each time i look at his ability. It is wearies and takes a lot of time.

Adding new heroes portraits will simplify micromanagement for the player, remove unnecessary work, heroes become really unique personality (Player always associates portrait with a specific hero) and makes the game more attractive and friendly for beginners.
Thanks in advance.

Actually, each portait is tied to unique hero 3d model.

So it is not that simple...

Art is expensive, and the hero and their portraits are animated.

I am a new player here. And I do not understand how players can enjoy the same images for different characters.

I want to know approximately when the new portraits of heroes will be add?

This is not in the plans currently.
